The Good Life

Owner

Good Life resides in the heart of downtown Boston and is a full lunch/dinner/bar/lounge experience. Down one level is the Afterlife lounge - home to over 150 frozen vodkas and DJs spinning quality music from all genres most days of the week. Newly renovated, family owned and a slice of something different in Boston's downtown.

In Short – Those familiar with The Good Life as a swinging ode to the Sinatra and martini era are surprised to see that the establishment, under new management, has pulled a 180. Local artwork, an upscale vodka bar and contemporary live bands and DJs combine to yield a wholly different atmosphere than that of its predecessor. Downtown workers fill up on modern comfort faves like grilled Cuban sandwiches, mac-and-cheese and grilled salmon.

Drinks Only

by Sassafrass

Drinks were great, but meal was overpriced bar-food. Fish (& chips) was smelly and purple-colored, pizza wasn't very good. It's close by, but probably won't return.

  • Pros: Vodka Variety
  • Cons: Poor Service, Lousy Food
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

To "dirtymartinigirl"

by clubgrrl69

First of all, it's a VODKA place. Why yes Virginia it is basement downstairs (how observant!) but the extensive vodka selection is like a hidden treasure. The music is house and the people are dancers (people who really love music). It's not a meat market, so stilettos & cigars stay upstairs please. If you want drama, meatmarket feel - go to Roxy. This place is for the laidback people, vodka lovers & b-boys. Strange that the two co-exist under the same roof. Ce' la vie! Definitely coming back again!!!!!! With much love from NY.

  • Pros: Good music, no drama crowd.
  • Cons: parking, $$$ drinks
